The reality of the matter is the LSU fan base will find some bull shite to complain about that they will label as inexcusable on the coaching. It doesn't matter if he calls the time out or not. People would be ready to riot as they always are. I grew up in Baton Rouge and know this. Everyone else knows it deep down inside also.

That is my problem with this time out shite. People will act like this lost the damn game weeks from now when they bitch about the season.

It's really hard to have faith in a head coach who demonstrates this level of incompetency on basic, easy propositions. I'm not being mean, it's just frustrating.

It is and I have no explanation for it. I think it's a "time crunch" thing. If he has time to think about the options, weigh them against one another, he is capable of coming up with the right answer. If the clock is going tick-tick-tick, it appears that he panics and his brain seizes up or something.

We did score 24 points in the 2nd half one way or the other...

We played bad and probably didn't deserve to win. But Miles put the cherry on top with not even giving them a chance at the end. We pay him for a coaching edge - that's why he's getting criticized. Yes, people will criticize him for anything at times. But this is legit. Hearing his explanation was probably even worse.

We hand off to Hill a couple of more times and there's not enough time left for OM to drive far enough for a field goal. I figure our chances in overtime would have been no worse than 50/50.

This. Why TF were we hiking the ball with 20 secs left on the play clock when it was obvious we should have been killing more time!
